3. Native Village
A few dozen wooden huts, raised about a
foot from ground level, fill this small clearing.
The people of the tribe eye you carefully
before going on about their business. This
seeming unconcern could be explained by
the fact that every person of the tribe, down
to the youngest of children, carries at least a
dagger.
While these people seem unconcerned
with your arrival, they announce, through
body language, that you are not to approach
them.
If the party is not in the company of Malabur,
he will now present himself to them as
the translator for the settlers and his tribe.
As Malabur leads you deeper into the village,
you begin to see that the village huts
form three concentric rings around a central
clearing. Just before you reach the area
within the final ring of huts, a group of six
men, armed with spears and blow guns,
quickly arrive. They speak with Malabur in
a completely foreign language, sharply at
first, then in what is obviously a questioning
manner, the entire time gesturing at you
with their spears.
Any character in the party bearing one of
the “strange swords” will be pointed at. The
speaker will be obviously enraged and perhaps
frightened. His words will draw a large crowd,
including more hunters, who will surround
the party. (You should try to give no clue as to
why the character is receiving this man’s anger
so as to heighten the party’s fear.) If this
occurs the party will be “escorted” to the
chieftain in the longhouse. Otherwise, the
hunters will listen to Malabur and wave him
on towards the longhouse. Either way, proceed
with the adventure.
You enter the clearing to discover that the
huts surround a longhouse. A large man,
speaks after both are done, and both parties
leave. After this, he takes notice of your
presence and begins to direct questions to
Malabur. Malabur will answer smoothly, and
you can see the king beginning to relax.
If the party carried one of the swords here,
one of the hunters will now come forth and
shout at the king. The king will look at the
accused member and begin shouting at Malabur.
Malabur will translate that they carry a
demon sword and must immediately surrender
it. The party will have to talk fast (through
Malabur) to win the king’s trust.
If they patch things up, the king will tell
them that forest demons killed the settlers.
The settlers had been warned but had scoffed
at the existence of the demons. The king does
not know where these demons live. If asked to
tell of them, he will describe them as man-like
in form, but with some snake-like features:
arms replaced by snakes, the head of a snake,
a tail in place of legs, etc.
Unless the party blunders badly, they will be
able to use the village as a base for their explorations.
When they are done learning about
the jungle setting, let them find an access tunnel
to the Undercity of the yuan-ti.
Undercity: Level 1
1. Access tunnels
Any access tunnel through which the party
comes will be guarded by a single yuan-ti
pureblood, armed with a long sword, about
hundred feet from room 1. The first time the
party enters, the guard will automatically be
surprised.
Yuan-ti pureblood: Int Genius; AL CE; AC
4; MV 12; HD 6; hp 30; #AT 2; THACO 15;
Dmg 1-8; SA Spell ability; MR 20%; SZ M; ML
14; XP 1,400. This pureblood speaks the native
language. Once per day he can use cause
fear, darkness 15’rad., snake charm, sticks to
snakes, neutralize poison, suggestion, and
polymorph others.
Room 1
If the party is approaching from east (only),
an arch provides the entrance to the room.
The east room has a ramp down to the second
level (the main floor). It is otherwise identical
